Orton found success as a musician late, having been more interested in acting during her early career. She first gained notice in 1995 for her vocals on The Chemical Brothers' track "Alive Alone" and is well known for her collaboration (stemming from a relationship) with William Orbitin which she lends her voice for the Strange Cargoalbums.

Don't Need a Reason Lyrics
Beth Orton
Have you ever seen a sign,
That upon a time,
There were angels,
We all lose track,
Was upon our backs,
Feel the weight of them,
Why they fall is hard tell,
But some things you can buy yourself,
Yeah we all hurt the ones we love,
And we don't need a reason,
We only give what we think we deserve,
An' that's something to believe in,
I think I've seen a sign,
But its a very fine line,
If you want it all,
An' don't lose track,
For on our back,
There's no weight of wings,
When they shine is hard to say,
But some things never fade away,
We only hurt the ones we love,
Why we don't need a reason,
We only give what we think we deserve,
An' that's something to believe in,
So I've been calling angels down to Earth,
An' I don't need a reason,
Calling angels down to Earth,
Because I believe we need them,
We only hurt the ones we love,
Why we don't need a reason,
Gonna get all that you deserve,
And all that you believe in,
Do you believe in,
Do you need them,
If you need them,
Do you know,
Do you need them,
If you need them,
Do you know,
Do you need them,
If you need them.
